Wolves are reportedly well positioned to sign West Ham man Pablo. Very successful under Peixoto at Gil Vicente, joined West Ham, struggled and now is being looked at by Uncle Jorge. Fee expected around £15 million. West Ham bought for €26.7 million.

Don't rate him personally.

I agree, judged on his West Ham performances. But he was played as a false 9 or target man.

Cesar didn't play him as a false 9 at Gil Vincente, though. He was played as a left wide forward. Suppose more similar to a Caveleiro or Helder Costa type.



I'd say, for that type of money and a player that has experience with Cesar, he would be worth buying.

He is also an upgrade on the lack of forwards we have. We still need pace and technical ability upfront.

But we have 2 strikers that are proven goalscorers... one, our best ever goal scorer in the prem, and the other a proven championship striker... and you want to replace them with a player that hasn't scored in 14 games and that Nuno didn't trust?

So, let me get this straight... you wanna get rid of someone, Armstrong, who scored more in the last 14 games (2) and scores in the championship? In fact, the two seasons in champ with Southampton he scored 32 goals in 75 games.

44 goals in two seasons for Blackburn in 86 games. And you wanna replace it with a Fabio Silva? A player that hasn't proven they can do it? A guy with 17 goals in over 100 appearances? A guy who hasn't proven, played his most games this season in 27 and hasn't found the net in 6 months?

I don't think they are the same type of striker.
And I doubt Cesar will play a front 2. He is known for playing a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Whilst Armstrong was good in the past, he is a squad player in the Championship, similar to Afobe in our last Championship-winning season.
Pablo, who has played under Cesar, would be a strong indication of the type of player he would want to recruit.


Wouldn't you want a player that knows how to play your style and execute your orders on the pitch?
I think they will sign more forwards. They need pace, something that was lacking last season.
